4. You flip a coin twice.<br />
a) Complete the tree diagram to show the sample space.<br />
First flip Second flip Outcomes<br />
b) What is P(H, H)?<br />
P( , )<br />
c) Check your answer using multiplication.<br />
P(H, H) = P( ) × P( )<br />

5. Grade 8 students are planting 4 types of flowers: daisy (D), marigold (M), rose (R), and tulip (T).<br />
The students can plant them in 4 places: school (S), flowerpot (F), park (P), and hospital (H).<br />
Tamira does an experiment to see where the different flowers will be planted.<br />
The sample space is (M, F), (R, H), (D, S), (M, F), (T, H), (T, P), (D, H), (R, P), (M, P), (R, F).<br />
a) What is the experimental probability of getting P(marigold, flowerpot)?<br />
P(M, F) =<br />
← number of favourable outcomes<br />
10 ← number of trials<br />
b) Use multiplication to find the theoretical probability of P(marigold, flowerpot).<br />
P(marigold) = P(flowerpot) =<br />
P(marigold, flowerpot) = P(marigold) × P(flowerpot)<br />
